Unable to install IE7

[ljCharlie]

I am running Windows XP Pro 64bit edition. I'm unable to install IE7 through either Windows update or double click on an IE7 installation file I've manually downloaded. When I look into the event logs, these are the error message. I'm not sure if it's related.

Windows Management Instrumentation service is running fine. I've already tried deleting everything in %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem\Repository folder and restart the computer but still these errors and unable to install IE7. I do not run any DC.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Have you turned off any services as part of tweaks you may have done on your system? Check out: http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?e...e=DCOM&phase=1 which mentions something similar to what you see for IE7.

Thanks! I freshly installed Windows XP 64bit OS on this computer. I have not done anything to this computer.

Have you put the latest service pack on it? I believe that would be SP2 for Server 2003/XP64.

Yes, I do have the latest service pack on. I did manage to get IE7 install. However, I still kept getting the Userenv ID:1090 error message in the Application event log.
